Összéadunk

Összéadunk is a Hungarian neologism used to refer to the act or practice of pooling resources within a group to fund a common goal. It is used primarily in informal online discourse, local communities, and grassroots campaigns. The concept overlaps with crowdfunding and mutual aid, but emphasizes direct and voluntary participation by all contributors rather than formal fundraising channels.

The term is built from össze- meaning “together” and adunk meaning “we give” (from adni, to give). As a nonce formation, összéadunk can function as either a verb or a nominal expression indicating the act of giving together, though in standard Hungarian the closely related verb is összeadunk (we add up). The spelling with variations reflects informal usage and phonetic shifts rather than fixed grammar.

In practice, communities may say they intend to összéadnak a certain amount for a shared project by contributing small amounts. The term highlights egalitarian participation, transparency about contributions, and shared decision-making about how funds are spent. It is generally used outside formal fundraising frameworks and may appear in social media posts, blogs, or local newsletters.

As a neologism, összéadunk has limited currency and is not widely recognized in official dictionaries. It is best understood as a colloquial descriptor of collective giving rather than a formal financial instrument. See also: crowdfunding, mutual aid, adománygyűjtés.
